...Worklifebalance
What are the benefits and barriers associated with the achievement of a work – lifebalance for employees and employers?
This essay explores the importance of the achievement of a work-lifebalance and the issues which can be faced when initiatives to achieve such a balance are implemented.
One issue surrounding the concept is that ‘worklifebalance’ is often loosely defined as simply referring to the balance between an individuals time spent at work and on home life. In fact employees are usually monitored on various factors including their attention whilst at work. ‘Central to definitions of work-lifebalance then is the notion that the modern employment relationship is a negotiation to establish the boundaries around the attention and presence required,’ creating the need for employees to consciously incorporate practices into their lives to integrate the work and non-work aspects. Work-lifebalance can be defined as ‘a reconciliation of paid employment and life.’ (Redman and Wilkinson 2006)
It has suggested by McKee and colleagues that a series of historical shifts has shaped, to some...

WorkLifeBalanceWork-lifebalance entails a proper prioritizing between "work" ( primarily career and aspirations ) and "lifestyle" ( pertaining to leisure, health, family and personal development ) activities. Of late, the organizations have come to realize the importance ofwork-lifebalance to improve productivity. The research by Kenexa Research Institute (2007) showed that the companies genuinely inclined towards efforts to support work-lifebalance in an organization indicated much lesser turnover, greater pride in the brand of the organization and the willingness to give the extra bit to work. It also indicated greater job satisfaction and recommendations to peers about the company.
The norms of employer is usually offering a range of programs and initiatives like casual and telecommuting work, flexible work arrangements, compulsory leave, maximum leave and fostering environment that encourages employees not to continue working after hours. Though a prominent flaw in the whole purpose of the code of work-lifebalance is that it is generally only highly skilled workers that can enjoy such...

INTRODUCTION
As technology has advanced over the years, and become a more prevalent aspect of both work and ‘non-work’ life, it has opened the door to obstacles and opportunities as it relates to work and family. Coupled with technological advances, we have seen many transformations from a social, demographic and work place perspective. Growing up in the 1970’s, I had a stay at home mom, and a father who worked outside of the home. My mom looked after my sister and I, and my father was the ‘breadwinner’. I recall my father being home weekday evenings after work, and every weekend. We participated as a family in many...

WORK-LIFEBALANCEWork-LifeBalance: Engine of Engagement
In a lean, 24-7 world, a work-life strategy is no longer a nice thing to have around but a necessity. The reality is humans don't have Pentium processors.
The productive edge in the knowledge economy goes to minds that are alert and energized, not tapped out. Without a work-life strategy, the default is to the red zone of stress, burnout, and habits that drain brains, shrink attention spans, undermine decision-making, and increase stress.
A sustainable work-lifebalance program is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve engagement, and, as a result, bottom lines. Studies (see right column) show that WLB initiatives dramatically increase revenues, reduce costs, and drive the best retention.

...Abstract
Extensive research reveals that achieving worklifebalance can help to improve employee’s performance (Tsui, Pearce, Porter &amp; Tripoli, 1997), employee’s job satisfaction (Namasivayam &amp; Mount, 2004) and employee’s organizational citizenship behavior, which incurred as a result of social exchange (Lambert, 2000). The increasing intensity and complexity of work with the advances in information technology and information load, the need for speed of response, the pace of change with its resultant upheavals and adjustments (Guest, 2001), all demand employees’ time and can be sources for escalating pressures of work and affecting employees’ performance. On the other hand, the social structure change with the increasing numbers of dual earners or single parent families in Macau who have to work and take care of their dependent family members require both time and energy for those employees to play such an important role. Factors such as mentioned an have greatly affected employees in maintaining worklifebalance d brought challenges to both employees and employers. The current study identifies the factors that could affect employees’ worklifebalance in one of the Big Four accounting firms – Deloitte Macau. Both questionnaire surveys (n=31) and interviews (across two management level) have...

Introduction:
To balancework and leisure is an important issue for all employees and employers. The three main influencers on work-lifebalance is the government, unions and businesses. The linkage between work and family has been studied as far back as the 1960s (Gregory 2009). These initial studies mainly focused on women and work-family stress. Later other concepts emerged. It was not until the 1970s the concept of “work-lifebalance” occurred (McIntosh 2003). This essay will critically analyse the contributions of business, unions and government towards promoting work-lifebalance.
